The Wonderful Children You Are Helping

Olga, is a 12 year old girl with down syndrome. The center is a place for her to receive some schooling, along with positive attention in a loving enviornment. In Iargara, Moldova children with disabilities are not allowed to go to the regular school due to parents thinking they will interfer with their child's learning.

Iura Fararu is in the 8th grade and is 14 years old. This young man has a brother with a disablity and his mother doesn't work. Due to these circumstances this young man misses alot of school so he can help around the house and help bring in money. The donkey you see in this picture is his main form of transportation for his family. He is very shy and won't discuss much with other people due to the disaster in his home.

Crafts the children make in the Center.
